Some argue that obesity is a disease due to the physiological changes it causes in the body, such as altering hormone levels and increasing inflammation. However, others view obesity as a condition resulting from lifestyle choices and behaviors, rather than a pathophysiological state. The classification of obesity as a disease is debated within the medical community.
